The reason the Peppermint White Mocha is so high in calories is because it’s double the syrup.

Ask for it with half the amount of each, it will be just as tasty! You can also get it soy and no whip Also, the regular mocha (which is vegan; white mocha has dairy, for the vegans in the room) syrup has 25 calories per pump compared to the 60 calories per pump in white mocha sauce. You can *always* (always always always!!) customize your Starbucks drink, and no your barista will not mind.

Agree on the coffee w/ pumpkin and soy. I don’t remember the last time I ordered a drink from there that was milk-based… it tastes just as good with a little bit of soy (or often in my case, half and half).
